Watson ' s 16 ADMIN Although not a member of the junior college faculty, Superintendent of Schools Frank A. Henderson gave a great majority of his time and interest to the junior college during the elapsed year. Superintendent Henderson has been instrumental in the growth and improve- ment in the jaysee during his administra- tion. Well known as a booster of col- lege events, Mr. Henderson was one of the most enthusiastic supporters of the Don football team in its climb to the Eastern Conference and Southern Cali- fornia championships during the past year. FRANK A. HENDERSON D. K. HAMMOND There are few students who have not realized Director D. K. Hammond ' s worth to the junior college. During the year, most collegians come in contact with him personally. Sometimes the con- ferences are embarrassing, to say the least, but an air of confidence and de- termination is apparent on every stu- dent ' s face as he departs from Direc- tor Hammond ' s office. No greater compliment can be given to this genial Director of S. A. J. C. than the statement There is no finer friend than he. T R A T I O N Our genial host to the campus men handled a sizeable amount of work this year, but youthful spirit, combined with a fine business head, allowed Mr. Flint to come through with flying colors as usual. Besides acting as N. Y. A. ad- ministrator, which kept his office staff humming constantly, he found time to lecture on foreign relations to various groups throughout the county, advise the Orpheo Troupe, and conduct classes in junior forum, orientation, and history. His personality, enlivened by a keen, progressive mind, has gained him all- around favor of those who have come in contact with him. 17 CALVIN C. FLINT MRS. ELEANOR NORTHCROSS .4W R l With an unusual background of cul- ture, a deep appreciation of beauty, and a warm spirit of friendliness to all around her, Mrs. Eleanor Northcross means much more to the life of the col- lege than implied by her titles, Dean of Women, and Instructor in Eng- lish. To whatever activity she ap- proaches she brings a wealth of under- standing, sympathy, and richness of knowledge which make her a highly valued member of the administration at Santa Ana Junior College. (upper right) The lady patting the newspapers in such a gentle way is Mrs. Miriam E. Sitton, home economics teacher.

At other assemblies, such outstanding stars as Jack Rank, pro- fessional impersonator; Jacqueline Duke, child violin prodigy; and Coach Dean Cromwell, nationally known track head of the University of Southern California, presented inter- esting programs. Ingenuity scored as post-gridiron and basketball dances were successfully intro- duced during the semester. The introduction of Associated Student presidential plat- forms, athletic insurance, and a men ' s wear show-case were other projects endorsed by the board. Bill Sheppard acted in the capacity of vice-president, while Neil McDaniel served as treasurer. Other officers were Betty Lee, secretary; John Ramirez, forensics com- missioner; Franklin Guthrie, men ' s athletic commissioner; Barbara Hallman, women ' s athletic commissioner; Georgianne Angne, social commissioner; Bob Swanson, El Don edi- tor; and Tay Riggs, Del Ano editor. 28 -% re ASSOCIATED STUDENTS SECOND SEMESTER NEIL McDANIEL a e 4 ? naMV are ' ' An e r 3 W ' + u ' ss eY ' an u. be oV.« N 29 Adding Commissioner of Assemblies ' responsibilities to those of Commissioner of Forensics, the executive board gave Al Pickhardt the duty of arranging assemblies. Pick- hardt proceeded to bring students to the assemblies with fine programs. An exchange assembly was held with Pomona, while men ' s and women ' s service clubs presented humor- ous skits during the year. The addition of Santa Ana ' s first trophy case was also an introduction of the second semester board which was greatly approved by students. Other action along the sport- ing line included the adoption of rugby as an official Associated Student sport. Largely through Pick hardt ' s efforts, the jaysee presented a series of weekly radio broadcasts over station KVOE, using entirely junior college talent. Students and faculty alike from the various college departments put on programs of interest in their line of study and work. Crowning the spring activities undertaken by the board, an original composition by Alan A. Revill, music instructor, was selected as the official Alma Mater song. Members of the board in addition to President McDaniels and Pickhardt were: Fred Erdhaus, vice-president; Kenneth Nissley, treasurer; Eloise Walker, secretary; Bill Gresch- ner, commissioner of men ' s athletics; Velma Kuechel, commissioner of women ' s athletics; LaVonne Frandson, social commissioner; Bob Swanson, El Don editor; and Tay Riggs, Del Ano editor. - 30 A. W. S. Forming an integral part in the administration of the women at the college, the Associated Women Students have been rightfully included in the Student Administration section of Del Ano for the first time. Composed of all women who enroll in the jay- see, the A. W. S. sponsored several teas which provided new students opportunities to become acquainted with the junior college co-eds at the start of the semesters. The first service given by the organization was the tea for freshmen and new sophomore women, which created a lot of friendships at the beginning of the year. With President Frances wi Was in charge, the tea was held the first week of the college year in the Women ' s Lounge. Later in the semester, the Vista Del Arroyo Hotel, in Pasadena, was the scene of the South- ern California Junior College Conference, held annually for Associated Women Students and Women Athletic Association delegates, with their advisors, the deans of women and directors of physical education. Mrs. Eleanor Northcross, Lou- ella Pierce, and Frances Was represented A.W.S., and Miss Zena Leek and Betty Lee, W. A. A. Pictured above, (left to right), are: Frances Was, Gerrie Griffith, and Genevieve Eustis. Notable as the most outstanding social event on the organization ' s calendar, the Annual Ladies ' Choice Dance, which all men look forward to with contentment, was held this year at the Huntington Beach Memorial Hall in October. Forty freshmen attended the annual Fresh- men Women ' s Tea, staged March 3 at the home of the advisor and dean of women, Mrs. North- cross. The affair was under the supervision of Llewellyn Allen, second semester president, and was successful in presenting new students a chance to become well acquainted with upperclass women. Climaxing a year of worthy service, the A. W. S. held their yearly Mothers ' Tea in the Men ' s and Women ' s Lounges near the close of the year. An interesting program was presented to the large crowd of Mothers in attendance, and afterward refreshments were served. Officers for the first semester were Frances Was, president; Gerrie Griffith, vice-president; and Genevieve Eustis, secretary-treasurer. Second semester officers included: Llewellyn Allen, presi- dent; Virginia Sheppard, vice-president; and Anne Wetherell, secretary-treasurer. From left to right, (above), are: Llewellyn Allen, Anne Wetherell, and Virginia Sheppard. JUNIOR COLLEGIANS Sophomores have Freshman Bill Keeton polish their shoes Students crown Vic Rowland King-for-a-Day at assembly Loungers interpret ' please sign ' in a different way 34 SOPHOMORES r Highly amusing to the sophomores — if somewhat doubtfully so for the freshmen who for the most part suffered the most acute discomfort — were the freshmen days as managed this year by the officers of the sopho- more class under the direction of President Vernon Koepsel. The harassed frosh spent the first few weeks of the school term wearing their ridiculous beanies and carrying their Frosh Bibles from which the upper classmen required quotations at frequent intervals. The days were concluded with a Kangaroo Court held in the Willard Auditorium before a jury of twelve tried and true sophomore class members. Starting the social season for the Associated Students with the pro- verbial bang, the sophomore class successfully staged the annual Soph- Frosh hop on the evening of October 24 in the beautiful Huntington Beach Memorial Hall. Sophomores and freshmen buried any left over hatchets and everybody had fun. Koepsel was assisted during his reign of office by John Ramirez, vice- president; Mary Elizabeth Heaney, secretary; and Betty Lee, treasurer. Vernon Koepsel is pictured at the top of the page. Below, (left to right), are: John Ramirez, Mary Elizabeth Heaney, and Betty Lee. 35 SOPHOMORES . Reviving an old custom, sophomores again required freshmen enter- ing at the mid-semester to wear the traditional beanies and tote Frosh Bibles. For the first time in many years, the entering frosh spent their first two weeks with the fear of the sophs in their hearts and the bugaboo of a student court and public trial hanging over their heads. The traditional kangaroo court was held in conjunction with King ' s Day this year. An assembly was staged in the Willard auditorium with Associated Students ' President and King-for-a-Day Vic Rowland taking the place of the usual jury. Supervising the affair for King Vic was Sophomore President Allen Titensor who was present in the form of a court jester — lowly but important. Working with his cabinet, President Titensor also aided the social commissioner in the staging of the commencement breakfast and other commencement activities. The second semester cabinet was also respon- sible for the selection of a class gift to the school upon their departure. Titensor was assisted by Tay Riggs, vice-president; June Licht, secretary; and Phil Cook, treasurer. At the top of the page is Allen Titensor. From left to right, (below), are: Tay Riggs, Phil Cook, and June Licht. 36 GRADUATES BAIN M.

Such is the motto adopted by the secretarial practice department of the junior college this semester with the establishment of an em- ployment service under the direction of George B. Holmes. Above are those graduating this year with hopes of being placed: (left to right) Jean Jacobsen, Ruth Attridge, Alberta Becker, Shirley Sandberg, Seorgianne Angne, Naomi Lehman, Lauris Adams, Henry Neilson, Dorene Haupert, Evelyn Chap- man, Winifred Nelson, Henrietta Rurup, Fern Mark, Nedra Montgomery, Marjorie Nelson, Marguerite L.

Bob Wilde was elected president to lead the first semester class through the wilderness of the opening college days. Freshmen chose Ralph Fuller to assist Wilde as vice-president, while LaVonne Frandson was selected secretary, and Ed Velarde voted class treasurer. Despite the good behavior of the new students, members of the freshman class were required to amuse upper-classmen with rediculous antics at the annual Kangaroo Court, which was staged by the Associated Student Executive Board. Pictured are: (at top) Bob Wilde; left to right: (below) Ralph Fuller, Ed Velarde, and LaVonne Frand- son. FRESHMEN Somewhat acquainted with the hustle and bus- tle characteristic of college life, members of the freshman class which enrolled in September watch- ed their pea-green brothers and sisters entered at mid-year with a feeling of pity and enjoyment. In February the freshmen reorganized and placed Dick Phillips at their head as president. Bill Semnacher was elected to the post of vice-president, and Marian Baxter and John McBride were hoisted to secretary and treasurer respectively. Upper-classmen again required the incoming crop of ' freshies ' by their regulations, and violators and non-violators alike were punished at the annual King ' s Day assembly soon after the beginning of the second semester. The above pictured are: (at top) Dick Phillips; left to right (below) Bill Semnacher, John McBride, and Marian Baxter. CAMP STUDENT ACTIVITIES An off-moment occurs during Fiesta Play practice Anxious students wait for Del Ano Photographer Alan A. Revill directs his singers at Fall Festival «  v £fV ► i 56 r DEL A N O 57 Signals! 88 — 45 — 94, shift! And that is exactly what Del Ano editors did this year. From the conventional plan used in previous yearbooks, the staff changed their offense and drove for a new goal — informality. Innovations must be counted on both hands. Elimination of the stilted dedication and the trashy ' candid ' camera section, which long held a place in yearbooks, was accomplished this year. In their place has been introduced the p resentation and the snapshots at the sub-divisional pages. Real candid pictures of faculty members, new angle athletic shots, classroom scenes, basket- ball, rugby, swimming, and tennis action pictures, complete reorganization of the yearbook — all are featured for the first time. The four divisions and I I sub-divisions were instituted in a hope to gain unity and coherence throughout the annual. With the inauguration of informality, staff members attempted to main- tain the same high quality of past yearbooks. Del Ano was edited this year by Tay Riggs. He was assisted by Milford Dahl, first student cameraman in the history of the annual. Other assistants to Riggs included: Bob Swanson, gen- eral editor; Neil Mc Daniel, business manager; Dick Phillips, faculty editor; Frances Was, sopho- more editor; Harvey Baker, activities editor; Robert Forcey, organization editor; Ed Velarde, men ' s sports editor; Muriel Snyder, women ' s sports editor; Betty Lee, snapshot editor; and Phil Yould, assistant photographer. The art staff included Roger Fuller, Betty West, and June Hol- man. Faculty advisors were: George B. Holmes, Thomas E. Williams, Mrs. Eleanor Northcross, and Miss Frances Egge. On the opposite page at the top are: Tay Riggs and Milford Dahl. Below are: Bob Swanson, Neil McDaniel, Dick Phillips, Frances Was, Harvey Baker, and Robert Forcey. Pictured above on this page are: Edward Velarde, Muriel Snyder, Betty Lee, Phil Yould, Roger Fuller, Betty West, and June Holman. 58 E L D O N £ From the banner stories to the lowly scoop columns, students with eager eyes scanned the printed pages of El Don, weekly news- paper, for the latest collegiate news every Friday of the college year. Containing a surprising amount of information in a single issue, the six-column, four-page paper was edited by the same editor throughout two semesters for the first time in its history. This dis- tinction of service belongs to Bob Swanson, who succeeded in re- taining El Don ' s All-American rating for the second successive year. Supported by a capable staff of editors and reporters, Swanson brought the little weekly additional honors of a similar high rank at a contest conducted by the University of Southern California last fall. The first semester staff edited the annual alumni edition in the form of a supplement which was distributed along with the regular edition of the Santa Ana Register to approximately 14,000 local citizens, students, and alumni in all parts of the world. Assisting Swanson on the fall staff were: Gerrie Griffith, feature editor; Frances Was, society editor; Franklin Guthrie, sports editor; Harvey Baker, advertising manager; and Ray Foster, circulation manager. Above, (left to right), are: Bob Swanson, Gerrie Griffith, and Frances Was. At the left, (top to bottom), are Franklin Guthrie and Harvey Baker. 59 Industrious journalists pictured above are: (left to right) Bob Swanson, Delpha Wollert, Edward Velarde, Herb Gulick, Dorothy Griset, and John Rabe. Taking charge of the Santa Ana Journal, also a city paper, the second semester staff published the regular daily edition in the down- town office. The staff also edited the annual Fiesta Magazine which replaced the usual edition of El Don during the festivity week. Members of the second semester staff in addition to Editor Swanson were: Dorothy Griset, society editor; Gerrie Griffith, fea- ture editor, with Mary Knoche, assistant; Ray Foster, sports editor; Harvey Baker, advertising manager; Vic Rowland, circulation manager, and Bob Warren, assistant. Starting at the top of the page is Ray Foster, followed by Dorothy Griset, Vic Rowland, and Herb Gulick. At the right are Mary Knoche and Bob Warren. 60 NEWS SERVICE At almost any hour of the day, one could hear the incessant buzz of the typewriters in the News Ser- vice Office in Bungalow J . After Edward Velarde was appointed chief of the service last fall, more than 400 publicity stories con- cerning the college were sent to local and county daily and weekly newspapers — the highest number since the bureau was established in 1933. In addition to the routine college events, the News Service handled publicity on the Richard Halliburton lecture, the Santa Ana High School senior play, and the jaysee Fiesta. Tay Riggs assisted Velarde and late in the year Gloria Kirchner was added to the staff. The service was under the direction of John H. McCoy, journalism instructor, who founded the unit on the local campus. J. C. DIRECTORY Rolling off the presses before Thanksgiving, the sixth annual edition of the Student Directory, edited by Tay Riggs, was distributed earlier than it had been in many years. Contained in the directory was an alphabetical list of the 708 students enrolled in college. Their ad- dresses and telephone numbers were also given. Simi- lar data was published concerning faculty and admin- istration members as well as their office hours. A new feature of the publication this year was the alphabeti- cal arrangement of jaysee activities and their advisors. Sponsored by the Press Club, journalism organiza- tion, the directory was printed by the Fine Arts Press under the direction of Thomas E. Williams. Riggs was assisted by Emaline Alford and Fred Pickett, typists. 61 TAVERN POST Clearing house for the literary ambitions of jay- see writers, The Tavern Post completed its ninth year of publication under the direction of Thomas H. Glenn, advisor, who founded the magazine. Two editions were printed during tine year. Bar- bara Lee Berger was editor-in-chief the first semester. She was assisted by Associated Editors Helen Griggs, William J. Backman, Eloise Walker, Gordon Bishop, and Jack Gardner. The editor ' s post was filled by Mary Paxton during the second semester. Her Associate Editors included: Barbara Leeback, Gordon Bishop, Elbert Stewart, Anne Wetherell, Carl Aubrey, Roger Fuller, and Fred Titen- sor. The magazine is sponsored by the Tavern Tattlers, literary organization, which is directed by Mr. Glenn. sfi k. FROSH BIBLE Working during the warm summer months on the Student Handbook, better known as the Frosh Bible, Franklin Guthrie turned out the publication in time for distribution at the opening of school in September. The handbook, corresponding to Chamber of Commerce literature, was a guide to all student ac- tivities, and served as the freshman ' s nemesis. Al- though Guthrie ' s chief task was the rewriting of old material in more attractive form, he also made several valuable additions to the booklet. Much new material was included on jaysee publi- cations, men ' s athletics, the Don coaching staff, and campus organizations. A section of the book was given to the description of social events of importance for the first time. A faculty directory and an editorial were printed also. 62 DRAMA VIRGINIA WILSON GEORGE BALL Members of the Fiesta Play cast pictured above are: (left to right, standing) George Ball, Lawrence Trickey, James Doyle, Harold Pottorf, Emery Steele, Joe Kobayashi, Elmer Meyer, Bar- bara Kiser, Jerry Roland, June Beckstrand, Harold Barrett, Ola Orrell, Joe Crawford, Edward Velarde, Jane King, Marvin Hinton, Betty Lee; (sitting) Carolyn Ryan, Catherine Ecklund, Virginia Wil- son, and Grace Young. 63 Head of the Orpheo troupe this year was football star Allen Titensor, who directed the programs presented by the local college unit at the various high schools of the county. Appearances were made at Garden Grove, Newport Harbor, Tustin, Laguna Beach, and Santa Ana High Schools, and before the college assembly. The drama department, headed by Ernest Crozier Phillips, sponsored a play entitled The Woman Who Understood Men. Members of the cast pictured above are: (left to right) Joe Crawford, Paul Martin, Virginia Wilson, Carolyn Ryan, and Ola Orrell. Proudest was the drama department of the work shown by the cast of Lost Horizons, the Fiesta play, said to be one of the most difficult performances ever to be presented by the college. The play concerned the story of an ill-fated girl who committed suicide over her lost love; her life was portrayed as it was and as it would have been if she had continued living. George Ball and Virginia Wilson had the two leading roles. 64 %%i MUSIC Undertaking their most difficult production of the year, the junior college music department presented the opera, Naughty Marietta, May 21 in the high school auditorium after approxi- mately five weeks of intensive practicing. The opera, which con- tained a total of 2 I parts in all, was the first the college has staged in a number of years. Although the performance was produced on a cooperative basis with the drama department, the majority of care in cast- ing and directing depended upon the musical directors, Miss Myrtle Martin and Alan A. Revill. During the year, members of A Capella Choir, from the music department, gave programs before various county clubs. The singers made their debut this year at the Fall Festival which was held as a dedication program for the Little Theater at the high school. Members pictured above are: left to right (top row) Beth Hewitt, Horace Evans, Elbert Stewart, Linden Carmen, Gordon Bishop, Eldon Klingenburg, Wilbur Marsters, Barney Spicer, Bob Gilman, Lynwood Young, James Haarstad, Don Beckstrand, Nina June Robinson; (bottom row) Marijane Belcher, Frances Bassett, Jean McKamy, Evelyn Richards, Eleanor Buckles, Rae Langley, Alan A. Revill, advisor, Josephine Flaherty, Frances Wilbur, Adele Pyatt, Elza Mae Hoxsie, Billie Johnson, Vivienne White. 65 Packing themselves into the few available cars, members of the music department motored to San Diego early in the second semester where they were received as guests of the State College at a banquet given in their honor. After presenting a musical program at the college assem- bly, the individuals of the troupe chummed around the campus with former schoolmates. Some of the singers visited the zoo during the time there. Others, who had found the banquet in- sufficient, satisfied their overwhelming appetites with hambur- gers, soda-pop, and pop-corn. On the return trip from San Diego, the vocalists stopped off at Laguna Beach, where they gave another short concert at the high school, minus a banquet. Because of the limited stop- over, members of the troupe found, to their regret, that they could not rollick on the fine beach. Among the musical organizations making the trip was the Women ' s Treble Cleft. During the year, this musical group presented a large number of delightful programs before numer- ous Orange County service organizations in addition to singing at an assembly for local students. Treble Cleft members pic- tured in the photograph below include: (left to right) Vivienne Switzler, Helen Waer, Agnes Brady, Josephine Keeler, Leola Schroeder, Rae Langley, Jeanette Bodman, Evelyn Richards, Elza Mae Hoxsie, Nina June Robertson, and Marijane Belcher. MUSIC SE W k  MUSIC Firs! hand experience with a traveling show was gained by musicians representing the music department of the junior col- lege when they made the annual tour of Orange County high schools with the Orpheo Troupe. The Orpheo Troupe programs, which were presented joint- ly by the drama and music students, were instrumental in draw- ing a large crowd of high school seniors to the annual Fiesta Day celebration at the jaysee. In addition to offering seniors in the various secondary schools invitations to the elaborate Spanish festival, members of the troupe gave amusing skits and several musical selections. Probably one of the most popular units of the Orpheo Troupe, was the Men ' s Chorus, composed of approximately 40 voices. The Women ' s Treble Cleft and Women ' s Chorus also made the rounds of the high schools. In the Men ' s Chorus above are: left to right (top row) Inez Granados, Harold Pottorf, Rand Lewis, Walker Davis, Wilbur Marsters, Josh Brady, Gordon Bishop, Fred Erdhaus, John Har- bour; (third row) Burns Drake, Reuben Krutz, Kenneth Te Groten- houis, Milton Yarnell, Fred Shaw, Wayne Carlson, Franklin Guth- rie, Bob Gilman, Bill Schlosser, William Conrad; (second row) Reed Walker, Ray Foster, John Black, Leo Snedaker, Miss Myrtle Martin, advisor, Elza Mae Hoxsie, Carl Hawkins, George Bassett, Richie Bassett, James Haarstad; (first row) Joe Kobay- ashi, Vic Rowland, Lynn Sherrill, Elroy Shields, Tom Trawick, Onie Sanders, Horace Evans, Bob Cunningham, Norval Witt. 67 Not satisfied with the fine reputation the music depart- ment had established for itself in the past, Instructors Myrtle Martin and Alan A. Revill began a wholesale reorganization shortly after classes took up in the fall. Jumping immediately into activity, the department pre- pared the Fall Festival for the opening of the Little Theater at the local high school. The performance proved to be a remark- ably splendid program, considering the short length of time available for practice. Because of an increasing demand for personal appearances at various city service clubs and county organizations, the music department purchased new uniforms for the Women ' s Treble Cleft, Women ' s Chorus, and Men ' s Chorus. The reorganization came as a result of suggestions from student leaders who expressed the sentiment that the music de- partment was the junior college ' s best means of publicity. Those pictured below in the Women ' s Chorus are: left to right (top row) Vivienne White, Frances Bassett, Elza Mae Hox- sie, Helen Fine, Rae Langley, Eleanor Buckles, Sadie Monroy, Leola Schroeder, Pauline Cave; (middle row) Virginia Pritchard, Anne Wetherell, Josephine Keeler, Evelyn Richards, June Corry, Jeanette Bodman, Marian Baxter, Barbara Warren, Vivienne Switzler; (bottom row) Margarite Montapert, Mary Coffman, Jean McKamy, Helen Ware, Miss Myrtle Martin, advisor; Helen Pierce, Nina June Robertson, Marijane Belcher, Agness Brady. MUSIC 68 FORENSICS Sweeping through to five Eastern Confer- ence victories while losing only one match, Santa Ana ' s crack forensic team wound up their regu- ualr schedule in a tie for first place with Pomona. After reversing their finalist in league play, the Dons met their Waterloo in the run-off for the championship. Santa Ana ' s record marked the fourth year that the team has tied for first place in the con- ference championship race only to be defeated in the run-offs. Back in 1935, the Dons won the conference title. But in 1934, I 936, and I 937 they tied for first place only to lose the title in an extra debate. During the season, Santa Ana brushed aside San Bernardino, Fullerton, Citrus, Pomona, and Chaffey to reach the league finals. Their only set- back was suffered at the hands of Riverside early in the schedule. Shown above are Santa Ana ' s four debators, left to right: Al Pickhardt, Franklin Davis, Anne Pellegrin, and Gordon Bishop. FORENSICS Santa Ana ' s two teams were composed of Al Pickhardt, Anne Pellegrin, Gordon Bishop, and Franklin Davis. With only one of four debators returning, Debate Coach John H. McCoy faces the problem of developing three speakers to team with Pickhardt next year. Mr. McCoy, journalism i nstructor, took over the debating duties this year for the first time, replacing Robert S. Farrar, and directed the team through its successful season. In the annual Kneeland oratorical contest held at Pomona College on May I 3, Pickhardt was awarded second place for his speech on Alex- ander Hamilton, the Nation Builder. The award was a $25 cash prize. The question of debate for the season was Resolved: That Congress should be empowered to fix minimum wages and maximum hours for industry. In the picture above are, left to right: Gor- don Bishop, Franklin Davis, Anne Pellegrin, Al Pickhardt. 69 CLASS ACTIVITIES Dick Phillips prys around in card catalog Too much cramming — or maybe a prayer Students fret over laboratory experiments 72 Practical experience was the keynote of work in the jun- ior college commerce depart- ment. All the work done in modern offices was dupli- cated by ambitious students majoring in commerce. A constant rhythm and clat- ter proceeding from always- filled typing classrooms proved that busy typists had no intention of letting their machines rest. Striving for speed and for accuracy, a mul- titude of advanced students were able to type more than 60 words per minute v ithout mistakes. The best of modern equip- ment was available at all times. Adding machines, calculators, mimeographs, and type- writers of the types most com- monly used in the business world were operated. COMMERCE DEPARTMENT Learning to take complete notes almost as fast as a per- son could talk, shorthand stu- dents became quickly pro- ficient in the correct usage of the standardized shorthand method. Bookkeeping and ac- counting classes also got much in the way of practical busi- ness experience. Headed by George B. Holmes, commerce instruc- tor, the student employment bureau proved very success- ful during the latter half of the second semester. Mr. Holmes was responsible for securing employment for many local students. The positions were not secured for commercial students alone. Many worthy graduates were also employ- ed in Santa Ana and vicinity. Plans are being made to con- tinue the employment service during the next school year. Local pre-nursing students gained much valuable exper- ience in physiology classes during the second semester of the year. Studying all living organisms, the students per- formed many interesting ex- periments. With the help of Frederick H. Schroeder, classes tested the muscle reactions of frogs, using several dry cells and a kymograph. Effects of various drugs on muscles were also demonstrated. Important in the course was a complete study of the blood. Blood stains and serums were pre- pared by students and stud- ied under the microscope. Health classes, also direct- ed by Mr. Schroeder, learned the high points of individual hygiene and disease preven- tion. Individual and special diets were also planned out by students taking Health. EDUCATION DEPARTMENT 73 Can you make some nice posters for our big dance this Friday? Such questions were always rattling in the ears of art students engaged in pos- ter designing throughout the year. Whenever the college or- ganizations needed advertise- ments for special occasions, the art studios were sure to be visited and asked to ' help once more. ' Thus the art classes were vital contributors to the general welfare of col- lege life. Instructors Frances Egge and Lucinda Griffith tutored students interested in art. Among the popular courses were: clay modelling, letter- ing, painting, blockprinting, designing, and bookbinding. Original etchings and litho- graphs, and many colored re- productions were exhibited at the studios during the year. 74 Student surveyors, directed by Harold Moomaw, got all the experience of veteran en- gineers on the job, and more! Working most of the time on their tract at Costa Mesa in the inner bay region, survey- ing classes plotted new road- ways, completed plans for the location of a proposed rail- road, and measured the size and altitude of Costa Mesa hills for miles around. Aided by a supply of new instruments, including sur- veyor ' s transits, levels, and chains, the classes located a lot in Santa Ana by using meas- urements from the deed and located the position of a pro- posed house on the lot accord- ing to plans and blue-prints. Other class work consisted in the construction of contour maps and in working various surveying problems. ■ ■ ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Exploring the crater of an extinct volcano was only one of the interesting features in- cluded in the geology course taught by H. A. Scott. Trips were made by students and Instructor Scott to the Mojave Desert, Black Star Canyon, Santa Ana Canyon, and Sil- verado Canyon during the year. The field trips enabled the students to see actual ex- amples of geologic structures, end provided aspiring geol- ogists and engineers an oppor- tunity to gather rocks and fos- sils for laboratory work. In addition to classifying material collected on the fre- quent excursions, students drew contour maps showing different structures and levels of the earth as class projects. 75 Wishing to make good their title of Dons and Donas, a multitude of jaysee students engaged in the activities of the Spanish classes during the past year. Instructed by Miss Mary Swass, many of the stu- dents became surprisingly proficient in the use of the language. Class time was spent in translating simple Spanish stories and romances into English. Conversation in Span- ish was also engaged in to familiarize students with the language. Students taking German and French, the college ' s other foreign languages, also trans- lated simple stories. In addi- tion to routine classwork, they attended several German and French motion pictures shown at out-of-town theaters. LETTERS AND SCIENCE Crawling about in their glass cages, the tarantulas, scorpions, turtles, and moles found on exhibit in the zool- ogy department in the science building gave students many hours of study and enjoyment during the college year. A horned toad, and several frogs and huge rattlesnakes, captured in local canyons, were also subjects of study in the science course. Taught by J. Russell Bruff, zoology students studied the technique of dissecting, and collected the live specimens kept on display. Representing only one of the many interest- ing science courses offered, zoology exemplifies a class typical of the department. Numerous pre-medical and pre-nursing students spent many hours in this class. 76 May there be clear weather! was the prayer of each student taking astron- omy as he left for the Lemon Heights Observatory once a week throughout the year. At the observatory, jaysee astronomers sought out the wonders of the heavens with a powerful telescope to dis- cuss them later in class. In- structed by Mrs. Jennie L. Tessmann, students became acguainted with the laws and theories of astronomy, with the common constellations, and with the larger stars and their magnitudes. The high light of the year for astronomy classes was a trip to Griffith Park Planetar- ium in Hollywood. There class visitors learned of science ' s newest achievements in their field. Constellation maps were made for class study. LETTERS AND SCIENCE Probably the most pub- cized academic achievement of the college year was Pro- fessor Edward M. Nealley ' s completion of his 1 000th il- lustrated chart. Lettered with India ink on heavy brown paper, the dia- grams and pictures used for clarifying lecture material, have become familiar to every student who has ever enrolled in his psychology and philos- ophy courses. During the year Mr. Neal- ley conducted self-analysis quizzes in his classes which proved beneficial and some- times amusing to the students. Main topics of discussion in- cluded the nervous system, the emotions, and the con- ditioned reflex. Streamline Your Mind, a new book by James L. Mursell, was studied extensively by first semester classes. Amid the noise of printing presses roaring at full speed, the clanging of galleys and composing sticks, and the click, click, click of linotype machines, students enrolled in printing classes produced the main publications of the college. El Diario, the daily bulletin, was considered a duck-soup job at the shop, while the pub- lishing of El Don, weekly All- American newspaper, the Tavern Post, college literary magazine, and Del Ano, col- lege yearbook, were tasks that demanded long, tedious hours carefully spent. Dance programs, signs, and posters were also part of a student ' s classwork in print- ing. Thus it is easy to see that the students under Thomas E. Williams are required to be efficient as well as careful and painstaking in their work. LETTERS AND SCIENCE 77 Some of the poignant odors that drifted from the science building during the year could be attributed to the chemistry department where laboring students grad- ually performed bewildering laboratory experiments. With the addition of quan- titative analysis to the physi- cal science curriculum this year, the chemistry laboratory became a center of almost continuous activity during class hours. Mrs. James J. Cottrell also instructed stu- dents in beginning chemistry and qualitative analysis. Students studied chemical reactions, properties of var- ious elements and compounds, and analysis work in addition to technique in the use of the analytical balance. Chemistry proved to be a popular science course. SOCIAL EVENTS Latest co llegiate fashions are shown at Spring Style Shov Students and alumni swing it at the Christmas Dance Southern California Champions honored at jaysee banquet 80 Filled with eagerness to get a taste of college life, ap- proximately 400 freshmen met at College Hall early in Sep- tember for registration. Their college year began with the merriments and entertainments of Freshmen days. Frosh beanies and bibles were distributed. Old students and faculty members quickly made new entrants feel at home. As- semblies were held in the Baptist church, the freshmen dinner was put on by committees under L. L. Beeman, and Associated Student tickets were sold to many of the new collegians. Soon after the first days of routine college work, the faculty gave its annual reception. The colorful event was held in the American Legion Hall. There, amid dancing and cele- bration, freshmen and instructors became better acquainted. Many sophomores attended the ceremonies. Gathering at Irvine Park for the first big college get- together, Dons and Donas enjoyed themselves at the annua! Fall Picnic with a variety of amusements. Sophomore men opposed the freshmen in the traditional soft-ball game. There was boat racing on the lake. An appetizing dinner was served after which students danced in the pavilion. The turnout at this event gave indication of a most successful social year. Bui freshmen were partaking of their liberties too freely. Sophomores became shocked at the way in which traditions and regulations were being violated. Driven to distraction, President Vic Rowland called a Kangaroo Court session. There before a dignified tribunal of their superiors, sinning freshmen were tried for varying offenses. Many had come to school with- out beanies or bibles. Some had sat on the sophomore benches or flirted with sophomores of the opposite sex. A few were even accused of not knowning the college song. The court record was enviable — 100 per cent convictions. College clubs and societies were not slow in beginning to function. Soon after freshmen days, men ' s and women ' s service clubs held rushing parties. Then the pledge period be- qan. Strange costumes began to appear on the campus. Pledges dressed as African explorers with shorts and sun hel- mets were seen. Others resembling pirates with emblems of bloody swords and garbed in old clothes strutted on the grounds. Behind all these pledges walked their superiors arm- ed with disciplinary paddles. After days of hardship, the pledging came to an end and the ranks of college clubs were swelled. m 82 Late in November, the Associated Women Students spon- sored their annual A. W. S. dance to which the women in- vited the men. As usual the affair was very successful because of its novelty. The Christmas dance at Huntington Beach was one of the most successful in the history of the school. The gathering was a formal one and was attended by a multitude of students and faculty members. The executive board ' s usual regulation of No Corsages was temporarily dropped to the satisfac- tion of young women and local florists. Glen Gilmore and his I I piece orchestra from Long Beach furnished music for the dancing. A huge Christmas tree covered with tinsel and other ornaments made the dance a colorful one. The event was dedi- cated to junior college alumni and many of them, returning to Santa Ana from various colleges for vacation, attended. 83 Proving a fitting finish to a triumphant football season, the Football Banquet was held in the Green Cat Cafe after the Dons had been declared Southern California Champions. Leo Calland, head coach of San Diego State Teachers Col- lege was the principal speaker. Climax of the banquet was the making of awards to jaysee gridmen. Varsity letters were given out and each member of the team was presented with a gold football — a present from the Associated Students. John Lehn- hardt received a trophy for being the most valuable player of the year and Bias Mercurio was named as the player show- inq the most imorovement. Coach Bill Cook was presented with a leather rifle case by the team members. Soon after Spring Vacation, the annual Skating Party was held at the Hippodrome in Long Beach. Dons and Donas, at- tending en masse, proved that they could skate as well as study. Refreshments were served during the course of the evening. 84 MUWSTKC- -waooY ro t o- rtfi novelty t aews ti— j{ For months in advance, plans for a huge celebration were prepared. Hundreds of invitations were sent out. Elaborate costumes were secured. Then came the greatest day in the junior college year ... La Fiesta! With the purpose of advertising the school to the city and to all Orange County, the tenth annual Fiesta was the most colorful in the history of the school. Every service club and many of the other campus organizations did their bit to make the day a memorable one. On the morning of May 14, the Fiesta began with the traditional parade through the city. Led by the N. Y. A. band, the parade consisted of floats decorated by each service club and a crowd of gaily costumed students depicting early Span- ish life in California. The El Rodeo riding club and the Saddle Pals enlivened the marching with rows of prancing horses. ■P 85 Returning from the parade, students entered the arena on the lawn of College Hall to be welcomed by Director D. K. Hammond and Superintendent of Schools Frank A. Hen- derson. Don Allen Titensor and Dona Margaret Crowell were crowned in the typical Spanish fashion. Then Father Joseph Thompson, a Franciscan monk, gave the morning address. The afternoon program of the Fiesta on the college lawn was far more lively and interesting than tine morning ' s enter- tainment. A crowd of almost 700 seniors from all Orange County high schools attended as guests. Since the celebra- tion was open to the public, a multitude of local citizens were al so present. Tradition of the fiesta, the bull fight was one of leading attractions. Contrary to custom, however, the bull was victor- ious, leaving in its wake a crestfallen toreador and two beaten picadores.

BILL COOK Completion of a decade of football coach- ing has been realized this year by affable, popu- lar Bill Cook. In that period of time, much has transpired to place his name in the annals of ath- letic history in Southern California. He has brought ten years of football prosperity. He has brought three Southern California championships here. He has created an enviable record as mentor of the Red and Black whose teams have always stood for the highest in sportsmanship. In this span, Coach Cook ' s teams have played a total of 104 games, winning 57, losing 34, and tying 13. Santa Ana has made a grand total of 1118 points against 73 I for the opponents. But the crowning achievement of his coaching duties here was the winning of the third Southern California crown this year. Congratulations, Bill Cook. BLANCHARD BEATTY Coach Blanchard Beatty returned to his old alma mater for the 1936 campaign to serve un- der the coach he had played for as a Santa Ana junior college student. As assistant football coach to Bill Cook, Beatty came back to his former post in time to share in the honors of a third Southern California championship. In that capacity it was his duty to instruct the backfield men. He gave them pointers on various ways to block, on open field running, tackling, and passing. As a member of Coach Cook ' s mythical all-star team in the quarterback position, Beatty was well qualifed for the job. Not like many assistant coaches who al- low the head man to mould the team alone, Beatty was instrumental in building the founda- tion for the powerful Don machine. His work as Coach Cook ' s lieutenant has been well rewarded. Southern California football champions! For the third time in 10 years a Don eleven has captured the championship. Going through the season without a loss, with the exception of one non-conference set-back, Coach Cook ' s men are worthy representatives of such a title. Riverside was the only conference team to score on the powerful Dons, while Pasadena was the only non-con- ference eleven to defeat Santa Ana, and that defeat was early in the season. The rec- ord speaks for itself. Defeating in succession Citrus 7-0, San Bernardino 47-0, Pomona 26-0, Riverside 13-6, Chaffey 6-0, and Fullerton 13-0, Santa Ana displayed all the earmarks of a winning team. In non-conference games, the Dons bowed to Pasadena 7-12, while winning over Glendale I 3-0, Long Beach 1 9-0, and the U. C. L. A. Frosh 24- ! 9. Pictured above are, left to right (top row): Todd, Sides, West, Lentz, hHerbert, Ben- son, Tauber, Mercurio, Crawford, Devine, Faul, Burkhardt, and Stevens; (middle row) Coach Cook, Moore, Semnacher, Opp, Youel, Greschner, H.

Below are Co-Managers Bill Nowotny and Edward Velarde. 92 Knocking off the Eastern Conference lid success- fully against Citrus, Santa Ana gave slight indications of their tremendous potential power which was to be realized later on in the season. Taking advantage of their lone opportunity, the Dons capitalized to emerge victorious 7-0. Striking with surprising force, the Cookmen drove 37 yards down the field in eight plays to be in a scoring position. Quarterback Bill Greschner scored the the six points on an off-tackle play. The conversion was made with Greschner pre- tending to hold the ball for a place-kick. He received the pass from center but quickly flicked the ball to Fullback Joe Herbert who scampered around the Cit- rus backfield for the extra digit. Citrus was able to get within the Don 25-yard line only once. Stone-wall resistance by the line caused the Owl machine to clog up on the 14-yard stripe, and they never threatened very strongly thereafter. From above left to lower right are: Co-Captain John Lehnhardt, Harry Stanley, Co-Captain Allen Titensor, Fred Erdhaus. 93 Running rampant with scoring, the Dons won a surprising- ly easy contest in their second conference game against San Bernardino in the Municipal Bowl, 47-0. Mac Beall dashed across from the one-foot-line in the second period for the first score, and Joe Herbert kicked goal. The Dons chalked up touchdown number two a moment later when Herbert packed the ball over the line. Erwin Youel rambled 30 yards with an intercepted pass in the last 25 seconds of the first half for the third touchdown. Herbert booted the try for point. Beall scored his second touchdown soon after play was resumed. After Minder had blocked a punt and Tubby Waer had recovered on the In- dian 2 I , Ray Sides passed to Harry Stanley for another score. Sides kicked the extra point. Bob Holmes received a lateral from Al Titensor on the 15 for the sixth marker. The goal was made good by Herbert. Bill Greschner ran around left end for the final tally following a series of passes and laterals. Herbert came through with an extra point again. Appearing from lower left to upper right are: Erwin Youel, Bill Greschner, Ed Stanley, Bill Semnacher. 94 Before 5000 spectators, the largest crowd to watch a game at the Bowl, Santa Ana walloped Po- mona 26-0 to enhance their chances for the Eastern Conference title. As they did against San Bernardino, the Dons scored frequently, but the Red Raiders with- stood the onslaughts well enough to keep the score in the twenties. The first touchdown was made in the second quar- ter by Johnny Lehnhardt from the one-foot line over his right guard after plunges by Bill Greschner and himself had placed the ball near pay territory. After a fumble, a pass, and a line plunge, Lehnhardt rambled around his own left end a few minutes later for his sec- ond counter. Midway in the third period, Lehnhardt made his third touchdown following a 42-yard drive. Gresch- ner added the extra point. In the fourth quarter, Ray Sides shot a pass to Fred Lentz on the first play for the last tally. Mac Beall caught Sides ' aerial for the extra point. Reading from upper left to lower right: Bias Mer- curic Charles Mueller, Alvin Lamb, Mac Beall. 95 Friday, the thirteenth, was NOT an unlucky day for the Dons, (or it was on that date that they subdued a stormy Riverside team 13-6. The desperate Bengals, who had lots to win but little to lose, gave Santa Ana the stiffest competi- tion they had bucked up against in league competition. After Riverside had manufactured a 6-point lead in the second quarter, the Dons demonstrated their real power and determination when they lashed back to score 7 points and lead at halftirne. It all happened when Johnny Lehnhardt crash- ed off right tackle, stringing Bengals left and riqht, to score standing up. He then cracked over right guard for the extra point and a one point lend. Getting off one of the prize stunts of the year, in the second half, Bill Greschner, who was calling signals, impro- vised a play calling for a pass to him in one corner of the field. The plav proved to be a humdinger when Lehnhardt tossed the ball to Greschner in the appointed place for a touchdown. On the line, Carl Benson at tackle and Bob Holmes at center played bang-up games. End Fred Erdhaus and Lehn- hardt again did sterling jobs for Santa Ana, whi ' e Erwin Youel performed well at a wing position. Reading from lower left to upper right: Howard Rash, Ray Devine, Roy Waer, Joe Crawford. . — --■■ ■■-«■■■■■ 1 ' ■ — MMM HIMIU 96 With the Eastern Conference title at stake, Chaf- fey and Santa Ana fought a knock-down, drag-out thriller before some 5000 rabid fans in the Municipal Bowl in which the Dons emerged victorious by the mar- gin of a single touchdown. Gambling on the unusually accurate passing arm of Johnny Lehnhardt in the opening quarter, the Dons unleashed an aerial attack which culminated in the winning counter. Marching 56 yards in five well-direct- ed plays, Santa Ana advanced to the Chaffey 16-yard line. At that point, Lehnhardt faded back and shot a long diagonal pass to Fred Erdhaus, who caught the ball on his finger tips deep in the enemy ' s end zone. Throughout the remainder of the contest, the two teams staged an unrelenting dog-fight near the center of the field. Throwing everything they had against the Dons in the last quarter, Chaffey began a gradual move towards the goal line which Santa Ana finally stopped shortly before the game ended. Pictured from upper left to lower right are: Carl Benson, Russell Roquet, Fred Pinkston, Dick Shepard. 97 No defeats, no ties! That record was finally realized by the Dons when they tamped Ful.erron 13-0 in the annual Thanksgiving Day grudge battle. Being scouted by Los Angeles, champions of the West- ern Conference, Santa Ana kept all pet plays and tricks in the bag and relied on ordinary straight football to carry them to victory. As the game progressed, the Dons found that the Yel- lowjackets were the sixth conference team which could not repel the brilliant passing combination of Lehnhardt and Erd- haus. Reaching a point within inches of the goal line, the Dons called upon their reliable Johnny Lehnhardt to heave a pass. Fred Erdhaus caught the ball unmolested for the touchdown on the next play. Lehnhardt then took a lateral pass from Fred Lentz for the extra digit. Again in the second half, the Dons launched their aerial circus with success. This time, Joe Herbert arched the ball to Erdhaus, who caught the pigskin on the Fullerton 15-yard line and ran the remaining distance for the score. From lower left to upper right are: Joe Herbert, Carl Lehn- hardt, Fred Lentz, Bob Faul. nm DMon 98 i W . T , After the Southern California championship battle with Los Angeles in the Municipal Bowl, the fans that fi ' ecl out of the stadium were almost convinced that the Dons were the logical team to meet the Eastern e ' even in the Rose Bowl New Year ' s Day! So decisive was the 9-0 licking that Santa Ana handed the metropolis lads, that the score seems wholly lacking in representing the real superiority of the Dons. Mac Beall, inside half, got off a punt in the second quarter which was grounded on the Cubs ' two- foot line. When the Los Angeles fullback tried to kick, Tackle Ray Devine caught him back of the goal line for a safety. Late in the fourth quarter, Beall again placed Santa Ana in a position to score when he brought down a pass from Johnny Lehnhardt on the Los Angeles 30 and ran to the five yard line. Bias Mercurio then blazed around left end behind beautiful interference to score standing up. Fred Erdhaus took a pass on a faked kick conversion for the extra point. From upper left to lower right are: Minoru Nitta, Bob hfolmes, Dan Boyd, Les Minder. 99 As Southland football champions, the Dons were honor- ed on every side by admirers. Immediately after winning the Eastern Conference crown, members of the football squad were served a duck dinner by Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Holmes, parents of Center Bob Holmes. Following the acquisition of the Southern California cham- pionship, the Dons were given a free dinner by Phil Hay, pro- prietor of the Salad Bowl. Culminating the activities for the squad was the annual Football Banquet at the Green Cat Cafe where several hun- dred Orange County football fans gathered to honor the Dons. Letters, gold footballs, and life pases were awarded the gridders by the college. Coach Cook was presented a rifle case by the squad, while Co-Captain Al Titensor and Johnny Lehnhardt received leather billfolds. Members of the squad selected Lehnhardt as the most valuable player to his team, and Bias Mercurio as the most improved man on the squad. Erwin Youel, stellar end, and Ed Stanley, promising halfback, were elected co- captains for next year. From lower left to upper right are: Dick Connell, Dick Tauber, Hal Mosiman. BASKETBALL This year ' s crop of conference basketball victories amounted to only three as the Dons fin- ished the season clawing for a higher berth in the Eastern Conference standings. For some reason unknown, Santa Ana ' s defeats usually came after the team had led throughout the first halves of their games. It took Santa Ana four conference games to catch on to the knack of finishing on top in their basketball tussles. Despite the lack of victories, the Dons turned in some well-played contests. Playing a home-and-home arrangement, the Dons split series with Pomona, Citrus, and San Bernardino for their only wins. The first encounter with Pomona netted the Dons a triumph by the slim margin of one point, 44-43. The following week, Santa Ana emerged victorious over Citrus 36-25. Meeting San Bernardino for the second time, the Dons made the Indians bend, 39-3 I . Members of the Don basketball sguad pic- tured above are: lef+ to right (top row) Tay Riggs, Don Randall, Kenneth Nissley, Bill Semnacher, Coach Blanchard Beatty; (bottom how) John Jen- nison, Verne Rutledge, Harry Stanley, Bob Brown- ing, Kenneth Marshall. On the left, from top to bottom, are: Tay Riggs, Harry Stanley, Bob Browning. 100 101 Opening the Eastern Conference season against Riverside ' s defending champions, Santa Ana wilted in the second half to lose to the Tigers, 54- 24. After playing 20 minutes of fine basketball, the Dons succumbed un- der the renewed life and deadly at- tack of the Riverside guintet in the final half. Fullerton ' s shooting disposed of Santa Ana in the second league game, 43-20. Although Harry Stanley scored 12 points, the Dons could not pene- trate the Yellowjacket defense and had to garner points at long range. Santa Ana sank to the lowest depths of the 1937 standings when they suffered their third successive beating in conference play from Chaffey, 43-26. Chaffey ran through the Dons ' ragged defense to score at will. Tay Riggs led Santa Ana scorers with 7 points in his position at forward. Led by Don Randall, who collected 10 tallies, the Dons put up a good fight but lost to San Benradino 40-33. The team, which had been juggled for the contest, turned in the best game of the season thus far. Coach Beatty started Riggs, Randall, Stanley, East- ham, and Semnacher. Playing their first fray on a foreign court, Santa Ana finally hit the win column by trouncing Pomona, 44-43. Up from his sick-bed, stocky Ken- neth Nissley helped the Don cause tremendously with 19 points. 02 Perhaps it was the renewed confidence which the Dons gained from their Pomona victory that accounted for their second league victory over Citrus, 36-25. Charles Chuck Barrett and Verne Rutledge made their debuts on the first string as Nissley and Stanley garnered 14 digits each. In their second encounter with Fullerton, the Dons drop- ped another ball game to the Yellowjackets, 42-27. Again Santa Ana weakened in the final half after matching basket for basket with their county rivals till the intermission. Barrett racked up I 3 tallies for high point honors. The second Chaffey-Santa Ana game was a typical heart- breaker with the Dons winding up on the short end of a 36-33 count after leading for over three-guarters of the contest. At the close of the regular playing time, the two teams were tied 31-31, but in the extra session the Panthers gathered five points while the Dons picked up only two. Charles Barrett is shown at the left. The cheerleaders are Virginia Wilson and Charles Mclntyre. 103 Santa Ana ' s third victory was a sweet one for the victim was the second place San Bernardino Indians, who bit the dust, 39-3 I . The win gave evidence that the Dons were improving. In a thrill-packed battle, Santa Ana lost their seventh con- ference start by a 32-29 score to Citrus — a team the Dons had previously defeated. The locals again led throughout most of the fray, but long shots by the Owls proved too effective. Victory went slipping through the Dons ' fingers for the eighth time when Riverside staged a second half rally that wiped out a Don lead, to hand the locals a 48-36 set-back. Stanley caged I 3 points for scoring honors in the final con- ference game. At a dinner for basketball lettermen, Don Randall was selected captain of next year ' s quintet, while Harry Stanley was named 1937 honorary captain. The following cagers were awarded letters: Don Randall, Harry Stanley, Kenneth Niss- ley, Tay Riggs, John Jennison, Harold Barrett, Bob Brown- ing, Verne Rutledge, Bill Semnacher, and Kenneth Marshall. On the left is Bill Semnacher. Virginia Scott and Willie White are the yell-leaders. 104 ? BASEBALL The Don baseball team finished a poor season of the national pastime after a year ' s lay off. During the current season, prospects of an outstanding 1938 team began looking probable. Two of the three losses sustained by the Dons were by one-point margins. Po- mona defeated Santa Ana, 8 to 7, while Riverside was victorious by a 5 to 4 score. The third loss was at the hands of Fullerton, 10 to 7. The only conference game won by Santa Ana was the Chaffey contest, which ended 9 to 8. Santa Ana ' s starting lineup consisted of Duane Teel, catcher; Arnold Fickle, pitcher; Verne Rutledge, first base; Bob Wilde, second base; Harold Jessee, third base; Erwin Youel, short stop; Winfield Mackay, left field; Gordon West, center field; and Art Nieblas, right field. Pictured above are: left to right (top row) Coach Blanchard Beatty, Erwin Youel, Gordon West, Arnold Fickle, Duane Teel, Burns Drake; (bottom row) Art Nieblas, Bill Nowotny, Harold Jessee, Verne Rutledge, Winfield Mackay, Bob Wilde, and Bob King. In the column at the left, top to bottom, are: Arnold Fickle, Duane Teel, Winfield Mackay. 105 Opening the conference schedule at Pomona junior college, things looked for awhile as though they might turn for the better. Always giving the Cos- sacks a run for their money, the Dons came within one run of victory in the hard tussle with Pomona. Going into the ninth, Pomona led by three runs, but Santa Ana put on a drive which netted two scores. The rally end- ed with the tying run on third. Nieblas ' single to left field followed by a triple by Rutledge started the ball rolling in the last frame. Catcher Teel then singled Rutledge home. This ended Santa Ana ' s chances. Gordon West ' s high homer over the left field fence of Poly Field, plus two driving singles, was not enough to buoy his sinking teammates against the powerful Riverside nine. The 5 to 4 game was hotly contested. It was the second heart breaking loss for Coach Blanchard Beatty ' s Dons. After a jittery first inning in which three errors com- bined with two hits to produce three Riverside runs, Santa Ana settled down and played airtight ball behind the pitching of Art Nieblas. Riverside sport- ed a 5 to I advantage in the ninth after picking up another run in the seventh. West ' s long drive out of the ball field brought the Don score to 2. Through a series of singles and breaks, Wilde and and Rutledge who had previously got- ten on by hits, scored at the conclusion of the contest. From top to bottom, at the right, are: Verne Rutledge, Bobby Wilde, Gordon West, Burns Drake, Bob King. 06 % The Dons go! off to their usual poor start by permitting the Fullerton nine, their up-county rivals, to cross the plate three times in the second period and once in the fourth before they got their sights adjusted to the southpaw slants of the Jacket slinger. The final score was I to 7 for the Yellowjackets. The Dons came back and netted six runs on four hits, two walks, and an error, to take the lead, 6 to 4 in the fourth frame. Runs in the fifth and sixth tied the score, and two-run innings in the seventh and eighth frames sewed up the contest for the Hornets. Santa Ana boasted its first victory against Chaffey by a narrow one-point margin. The score was 9 to 8. Verne Rutledge ' s single brought Art Nieblas in to score in the ninth and eventually decided the issue. Singles by Jessee, Youel, and Nieblas, and Teel ' s fly gave three runs to the Dons in the third. Two run attacks in the fourth and seventh frames kept the junior collegians one step ahead of the Chaffey pace. Cen- terfielder West put in a p erfect day at bat with three timely bingles, while Nieblas had a busy day scoring three runs and pounding out two hits. Fickle went the route for the Dons on the hill, getting out of several holes with tight pitching. Santa Ana ' s concluding game on the Eastern Conference schedule, which was to be played with Citrus, had not been staged when Del Ano went to press. At the left, top to bottom, are: Art Nieblas, Bill Nowotny, Hal Jessee, Er- win Youel, Fred Erdhaus. A 107 TRACK Two wins, two losses. That was the record of the past season made by the track squad. Decisive vic- tories over San Bernardino and Chaffey, and similar losses, to Riverside and Fullerton was the seasonal score of the Dons. What started out to be a dismal season turned into a brighter one once the Dons began clicking. Members in the above picture are: (top row) Harry Griffith, Bob Clark, Ray Cokeley, Harold East- ham, Les Huhn, Ines Granados, Joe Kobayashi, Dave Clark, Coach Bill Cook; (front row) Jack Grady, Walt Opp, Harry Stanley, Harry Miles, Bob Reif, Franklin Guthrie, Elson Gaebe, Willard Luton, and George Griffith. Reading from top to bottom, at the left, are: Walter Opp, Harold Eastham, Ray Cokeley, Bias Mer- curic 108 Led by Captain Bill Greschner, the team as a whole turned in creditable performances. Captain Greschner heaved the 16-pound shot 43 feet 1-2 inch at the Occi- dental relays to tie his own record. Thirteen Dons placed in the all- conference meet held this year at San Bernardino. Bias Mercurio cap- tured a first in the high jump with a 5 feet II 1-8 inch jump. Earlier in the season he set a new college record with a leap of 6 feet I 7-8 inches. Erwin Youel took a first place in the pole vault at the I I feet 9 inch height. Heaving the javelin 160 feet, Harry Stanley placed second in the conference meet. In dual competition, Santa Ana defeated Chaffey, 80 to 5 I , while Riverside was victor by a 74 to 57 score. In a triangular meet against San Bernardino and Fullerton, the Dons were winners 79 to 5 I against San Bernardino, but lost to Fuller- ton 99 1-2 to 38 1-2. The contest was figured as two dual meets. Prospects for a better than average sguad next year are bright with the return of I 2 letter winners. Reading from top to bottom are: Harry Stanley (at top); George Griffith (upper center); Harry Griffith (upper right); Franklin Guthrie (center); Les Huhn (lower left); Bob Clark (lower center); El- son Gaebe (lower right); and Dave Clark (at bottom). 109 Chief among the prospects are Bias Mercurio, Tom Sullivan, Harry Stanley, and Erwin Youel. Mer- curio ' s fine work in the high jump will probably be duplicated. His setting of a new local college record books, but will look much finer in competition in 1939. Sullivan ' s marks in the 440, low hurdles, and century are in for con- siderable improvement and will consequently account for many digets for the Don ' s next season. Stanley ' s javelin marks not only ac- counted for lots of points in the current campaign, but promise to bring in sufficient points with his possible return next spring. Last, but not least, the pole vaulting of Youel will add strength to the Don cause next year. His vault of 12 feet this year was a highlight of the season. The lettermen were: Bob Clark, Dave Clark, Ray Cokeley, Harold Eastham, Elson Gaebe, Bill Gresch- ner, George Griffith, Harry Grif- fith, Franklin Guthrie, Les Huhn, Joe Kobayashi, Willard Luton, Bias Mercurio, Harry Miles, Walter Opp, Jack Grady, Bob Reif, Tom Sullivan, Erwin Youel, Harry Stan- ley, Cameron Gillis, and Ines Gra- nados.

Capable hand- ling by Coach Jess Haxton, was instru- mental in making the fine record. Falling before the powerful Fullerton Junior College swimmers, the Dons lost their only conference meet to a team which had defeated the cream of the crop on the Pacific Coast. Chnffey was swamp- ed, 65-9, by Santa Ana, and Glendale was dov ned, 59-19, soon afterward. Compton was the next team to be vanguished, 59- I 5, while Pasadena lost a close match, 39- 35, to the locals.

I 12 TENNIS Participating in only two league matches, the Don tennis sguad closed the season with one victory and one defeat. In their first meet, Santa Ana walloped Fullerton, 14-3. Later, the Chaffey sguad nipped the locals, 9-8, to leave Santa Ana even insofar as conference matches were concerned. Carl Aubrey, student coach and manager, and Muryl Hallman represented the college at the Ojai tournament early in the spring. Aubrey was beaten in the second round of singles, while Hallman was eliminated in the first series of play. Ranking first as singles player, Au- brey was followed by Hallman, Kenneth Nissley, and Bill Keeton. The first doubles team was composed of Aubrey and Roy Potter, while Merle Griset and Charles Mueller formed the second.

WOMEN ' S ATHLETICS Rae Langley demonstrates her sprint form The women are fair to middlin basket slingers Badminton enthusiasts wallop the birdie MISS ZENA LECK Successful in encouraging greater participation among women in ath- letics during the past year, Miss Zena Leek, physical education instructor, has done much to give many co-eds enjoyment in the field of sports. Displaying unusual ability in turning out winning teams at play-days throughout the year, Miss Leek has grown to be well-known in Southern California athletic circles for her coaching prowess. Introducing badminton on the campus last year for the first time, Miss Leek acquainted junior college women with a game which proceeded to win their hearty approval. As advisor to the Women ' s Atheltic Association, Miss Leek devotes most of her time to maintaining interest and unity in feminine sports. GV B I 17 BASKETBALL Despite the fact that the teams lacked a good basket shooter such as Babe Didrickson, the women ' s hardwood quintets managed to turn in fairly successful records for the year. Meeting the well-known ' syncopated basket slingers ' from Fullerton in the first tussle of the fall playday, the Santa Ana No. I quintet received a most warm and cordial reception from their hosts. Score: Fullerton 36, Santa Ana 16. In the other end of the twin-bill, the women ' s No. 2 team came through with a pleasing victory over Long Beach.

' During the year an increasing number of women reported for badminton because of its catching popularity. A team was organized which competed against other college representatives at the May playday held in Los Angeles. Georgi- anna Angne, Frances Was, Helena Bailey, and Dorothy Griset entered the singles play. Because of the newness of the sport, no other intercollegiate matches were held. Near the close of the year, a mixed doubles tournament was sponsored by the Women ' s Athletic Associ- ation on the badminton courts in the Y. M. C. A. Badminton credit was awarded by the Women ' s Athletic Association to: Llewellyn Allen, Frances Was, Helena Bailey, Nedra Montgomery, Faye Barnes, Geraldine Hess, Jo Owen, Georgi- anne Angne, Dorothy Griset, and Manager Betty Hammond. Standing above in the photograph are: Josephine Owen, Llewellyn Allen, Nedra Mont- gomery, Georgianne Angne, Dorothy Griset, and Helena Bailey. 9 I 19 1 f BASEBALL Despite the determined efforts of a bumble bee to prevent the baseball team from winning its only game of the season, the Donas nosed out Riverside, 4-3, minus the services of their star pitcher. It all happened the day before the gala Los Angeles playday took place. Elsie Kokx, first string pitcher, got in fro nt of a ' hard-boiled ' bee, and immediately was disabled. Nevertheless, the women came through with flying colors in their game, and afterward enjoyed a big feed on the campus grounds. Because of limited opposition, only one game could be arranged during the season for the heavy- hitting amazons. Baseball credit was awarded the following women by the Women ' s Athletic Association: Velma Kuechel, Elsie Kokx, Elaine McReynolds, Helen Lowe, Irene McFarland, Nedra Montgom- ery, Thelma Marks, Marijane Belcher, Mary Hen- derson, Betty Lee, Barbara Hallman, Madeline DeBrouwer, Rae Langley. Pictured in the group above are: left to right (top row) Mary Henderson, Nedra Montgomery, Thelma Kuechel, Helen Lowe, Elaine McReynolds, Betty Adams; (bottom row) Elsie Kokx, Barbara Hallman, Irene McFarland, Madeline DeBrouwer, Betty Lee, and Marijane Belcher. 120 Pi cyfi § $ TENNIS Miss Leek was mildly surprised and members of the men ' s varsity squad were chagrined to find feminine tennis enthusiasts crowding the courts at all times this year. During the season, the women competed in first and second singles and first and second doubles, meeting in final combat on the Fullerton Junior College tennis courts at the fall play day. Members of the team competed against representatives from three other junior colleges in the California federation. Playing first singles, Anne Wetherell dropped a hard game to her opponent. Helen Lowe came through for Santa Ana to win 6-0, 6-4 in second singles. Paired together in first doubles were Anne Borchard and Barbara Hallman, while Ro- berta Nichols and Bernice Sparks composed the second doubles. Managed by Anne Wetherell, the following women received credit from the Women ' s Ath- letic Association: Polly Angne, Helena Bailey, Anne Borchard, Marijane Belcher, Barbara Hall- man, Betty Lee, Helen Lowe, Roberta Nichols, Bernice Sparks, and Anne Wetherell.

Through the cooperation of the Santa Ana Community Players, the organization spon- sored a benefit performance for the purpose of raising $50 to be given the most outstanding honor graduate. The social event of the fall semester was the Phi Theta Kappa initiation which was followed by a banquet for mem- bers of both honor societies. Officers for the first semester included: Robert Forcey, president; Charles Mclntyre, vice-president; and Eunice Filer, secretary-treasurer. Second semester officers were: Robert Forcey, president; Harvey Baker, vice-president; Eunice Filer, secretary-treasurer.

A. E. Again the junior college chapter of the American Associ- ation of Engineers can look upon the school year just passed with a feeling of satisfaction. During this period much was done to further the club ' s purpose of organization and its function as a source of practical knowledge and experience to the potential engineers of Santa Ana Junior College. Much of importance and interest was gained by these aspiring stu- dents through contact with well known engineers, group dis- cussions, experiments, and trips to points of engineering in- terest in Southern California. Late in the spring the A. A. E. of Santa Ana Junior Col- lege laid aside the problems of the physical nature of the world and spent a day enjoying a park picnic along with the junior college honor society. Officers for first semester were: Josh Brady, president; Fred Dierker, vice-president; Bill Ruddiman, secretary; Charles Roemer, treasurer. Dick Connell, president; John Forsyth, vice- president; Warren Kennedy, secretary; John Ramirez, secre- tary; were second semester office holders.

T 28 ALPHA RHO TAU Membership in Alpha Rho Tau consists of the hopeful wielders of the pallet and brush in Santa Ana Junior College; for this organization is open to only those students enrolled in the art classes. The club is a combination social and educa- tional group. Besides purely social affairs, excursions to noted Southern California art centers and sketching trips were made during the year. During the Christmas season, Alpha Rho Tau sponsored the annual sale of Christmas cards made by the members of the art department of the junior college; the proceeds were turned over to the club ' s treasury. On May 14th, in connec- tion with the tenth annual junior college Fiesta, the club gave a tea and displayed examples of their work for the past year. In this manner, the art department was made known to many potential collegians and the public in general. In connection with the art department, Alpha Rho Tau gave an exhibit of the old masters during the spring in order to raise money to purchase a group of the most popular prints for school use. The following students are pictured above in the Alpha Rho Tau group: left to right (top row) Roger Fuller, Joe Ko- bayashi, John Tullett, Chris Ema, Susuniu Tanaka, Harold Bow- man; (middle row) Lois Miller, Jack Gardner, Fred Titensor, Oakes Newcom, Frank Hertzberg, June Holman; (bottom row) Charlotte McCausland, Mildred Filer, Maxine Fowler, Miss Frances Egge, advisor, Betty West, Dee Pettit, Jane Hill. 29 BETA GAMMA Fortunate indeed is the five per cent of the student body that become members of Beta Gamma for not more than this small number of students are eligible for membership. By acting as the extra-curricular honor society on the Santa Ana Junior College Campus, this organization filled an im- portant place in college life this year. Those students con- sidered worthy enough on the basis of their service to student activities are eligible for membership. Possibly the most outstanding service rendered — and the most difficult to determine — is the $25 award which Beta Gamma presents yearly at commencement as a prize to the graduate who has upheld the ideals of the club to the highest degree. Beta Gamma can also claim the distinction of, and honor for, originating Fiesta Day ten years ago, and for aiding in many events of the celebration. John Ramirez handled presi- dential duties for the year, while Frances Was filled the sec- retarial post. This year the advisors of the group were Mrs. Jennie L. Tessmann and Calvin C. Flint. The following is the identification of members pictured above: left to right (top row) John Ramirez, Vic Rowland, Franklin Guthrie, Charles Roemer, Frank Hertzberg, Chris Ema; (middle row) Calvin C.

T 30 SIGMA PHI SIGMA Lying dormant for a number of years, Sigma Phi Sigma, Santa Ana Junior College honorary musical organization, was brought back into active existence during the second semes- ter by a group of students interested in that line of activity. Membership was limited to students interested in music. Starting the semester with a rush party for new members chosen on the basis of their ability to perform musically, Sigma Phi Sigma carried on through the year, having one meeting a month. The entertainment was supplied by individual mem- bers; refreshments and dancing followed. As a fitting climax to a successful semester, Sigma Phi Sigma gave a private con- cert, consisting of the best numbers in the members ' opinion given at previous meetings. Marijane Belcher was president of the organization; Nina June Robertson, vice-president. Elza Hoxsie filled the position of secretary; James Harstaad was treasurer of the group. Advisors of Sigma Phi Sigma were Alan A. Revill and Miss Myrtle Martin. Members of the organization in the picture are: left to right (top row) Horace Evans, Robert Buck, Wilbur Marsters, Rueben Krutz, Jack Woods, Onie Sanders; (middle row) Alan A.

In traveling half-way across the continent to attend the national Phi Theta Kappa convention in Little Rock, Ark., John Ramirez, as a delegate from the Santa Ana chapter, publicised the local organization and school. He was further distinguished in being the only one from California. This year was no different from any other as far as Phi Theta Kappa ' s money drive for the student loan fund was concerned. The result of the two-day penny drive for that pur- pose netted the satisfying total of $70, all of which was ap- plied to the common fund for the aid of ambitious and de- serving students. The final event on the year ' s calendar for Phi Theta Kappa was an evening barbeque at Irvine Park. Officers for the year included: John Ramirez, president; Franklin Davis, vice-presi- dent; and Helen Griggs, secretary-treasurer. The following are members appearing in the picture: left to right (top row) Gordon Lockett, Elbert Stewart, Harvey Baker, Hans Bergsetter, Gordon Bishop, Franklin Davis, Wayne Gray, Neil McDaniel; (middle row) Freda Wagner, Henrietta Rurup, Josh Brady, John Ramirez, Muryl Hallman, Robert For- cey, Marian Pletke; (bottom row) Helen Griggs, Eunice Filer, Elizabeth Hill, Miss Leila B. Watson, advisor, Frances Was, Joy Townsley, Barbara Lee Berger. 132 PHI SIGMA ALPHA Faced with problems concerning its organization as monu- mental to them as those of the world which it studies, Phi Sig- ma Alpha ' s year was marked with important decisions con- cerning its membership, its constitution, and its national af- filiation. Undoubtedly of great importance to the future of the club was the decision on the part of its membership to affiliate itself at the beginning of the fall term with the national social science fraternity for junior colleges and four year institu- tions, Zeta Sigma Pi. With the final decision up to the general attitude of Phi Sigma Alpha organizations over the country, the local chapter probably passed its last year under the name of Phi Sigma Alpha. Officers for the first term were: Robert Forcey, presi- dent; James Bartlett, vice-president; and Helen Gardiner, sec- retary. At the positions for the second semester were: Frank- lin Davis, president; Gerald Page, vice-president; and Elizabeth Hill, secretary. The following members are pictured above: left to right (top row) Phil Cook, Clyde Files, Stanley Slaback, Franklin Davis, Alvin Hurst, Carl Aubrey, Gerald Page, Neil McDan- iel, Herman Safier; (middle row) Betty Lee, Jack Wallace, El- bert Stewart, Gordon Lockett, L.

Although one of the new- est groups in the junior college it has already taken its place along with the most active clubs of the college. Strictly a non- social organization, the weekly meetings are devoted to dis- cussions, demonstrations, and research work. Among the subjects considered in these gatherings were: anaesthetics, metabolism tests, blood counts, physical exami- nations, specific diseases, first aid, and upper division medical courses. Of great interest to those pre-medical students were the trips to the Norwalk institution for the insane and the state hearings. This year ' s organization continued the idea adopted last year of excluding women pre-medical students from mem- bership, doing away with the ruling of their admission into the association of two years ago. No officers were elected during the year. Pi Mu Gamma was under the sponsorship of Dr. Willis P. Baker, local physician and official Associated Student doctor. Frederick H. Schroeder, faculty member of the life science division of the junior college, advised the group. In the picture above members of Pi Mu Gamma are as follows: left to right, Frederick H. Schroeder, advisor, Harvey Baker, Rand Lewis, Herman Safier, Tom Trawick, John Det- weiler, Dr. Willis P. Baker, advisor.

Complete plans for the entire program of the junior col- lege day-of-days were supervised by Chairman Charles Mclntyre and Thomas H. Glenn, faculty director. Specific phases of the celebration were carried out by Fiesta committee men with the aid of the service clubs. Construction of the arena and the oxcart for the Don and Dona was un- dertaken by Dave Phoenix and his aids. With the assistance of the News Ser- vice Bureau, Edward Velarde was re- sponsible for advertising the affair in the high school and county papers; and John Ramirez assumed the difficult task of planning the program for the day. Father Joseph Thompson was the chief speaker. Aided by jaysee women students, Eloise Walker took charge of costumes, and Gordon Bishop undertook the school exhibits and parade. Franklin Guthrie saw to the construction of the booths with service club help. Arrange- ments for the lunch for jaysee students were carried out by Betty Lee. Gloria Kirchnerand Lawrence Trickey arranged for hospitality to senior visi- tors from Orange County high schools by providing them with tickets for the supper, dance, and the evening play performance. Jack Wallace was in charge of the ticket printing, while Ken- neth Nissley arranged the bull fight for the afternoon program. With hlenrietta Rurup as head, the supper was served in the evening and the dance which followed was planned by Georgianne Angne. June Licht was in charge of decorations.

Bookstore High school journalists attend Press Club Banquet Varsity S members welcome prep athletes to Fiesta 148 FRENCH CLUB Considered the oldest organization of the college, L ' Hotel de Rambouillet, as the French Club is known, has held a place of prestige in Santa Ana Junior College life since 1917. Mem- bership is open to all students who are above the Qu ' est-ce qu c ' est stage in their ability to speak the language. The out- standing purpose of the club is to give the student an oppor- tunity to use his French in social surroundings and to learn more of the habits, customs, and history of the country where the language originated. Motion pictures played an important part in carrying out the club ' s purpose, for the French Club, in cooperation with the language department of the college, was able to see two foreign films of great merit. Officers for both semesters were: Betty Hammond, presi- dent; Elbert Stewart, vice-president; and Catherine Cooper, secretary-treasurer. Miss Leila B. Watson was the club ad- visor.

K. CLUB Let there be no blemish on our ideals, and may our ex- pectations be fulfilled in such a manner as to bring credit to the institution and command an attitude of respect and ad- miration from those who follow in our steps. So reads the motto of the O. K. Club, an organization on the jaysee cam- pus with the purpose of providing a congenial and comfortable atmosphere for those orphan kiddies living away from home. The officers for the spring and fall terms were: Evelyn Chapman, president; Elmer Myers, vice-president; Ruth Weir and Virginia Sheppard, secretary-treasurers. Marjory Button and George Aupperle were social commissioners during the second semester. The advisors for the group were Miss Dorothy Decker and H. A. Scott. Members of the O. K.

Mem- bers had to earn letters in at least one of the following sports: basketball, baseball, football, golf, rugby, swimming, tennis, track, or wrestling. Organizing for the first time during the year into a unified club, the Varsity S held their first regular meeting in April. The purpose of the club is to acquaint Orange County high school athletes wtih the junior college.

W. A. A. Membership in the Women ' s Atheltic Association in- cludes all women students who participate in one recognized sport of the junior college — tennis, basketball, hockey, bad- minton, baseball, or swimming. The W. A. A. has as its duty the supervision of all junior college sports; in addition to its athletic function, the amazons of the jaysee carry on an active social program. During the year the athletic program is given a zest and an impetus by the well-known spreads. Early in the fall there was one for the old and new junior college women; this was followed by the Round-Up and by a St. Patrick ' s spread. Wind- ing up the year in grand flourish, the W. A.

In its bi-monthly meetings the local Y. W. C. A. dif- fered from its practice of former years in that more outside contacts were made in planning the program; social and eco- nomic problems, play and book reviews and travel talks all had their place on the year ' s calendar. The Y. W. C. A. gained its place in the sun by operating the second-hand book shop, where frantic students at the be- ginning of each semester were able to get texts at greatly re- duced prices. Profit from this business venture enabled the local chap- ter to send delegates to the Asilomar conference held yearly near Monterey, and to the camp Emma Otis retreats. Officers for the year were Jean Mulbar, president; Betty Hill, vice-president; Josephine Owen, secretary; Dorothy Gri- set, treasurer; and Barbara Hallman,,book store chairman; Mrs. Jennie L. Tessmann advised the organization. Members of the Y. W. C. A. in the above picture are: left to right, (top row) Barbara Leeback, Helen Lowe, Elizabeth Hill, Margery Button, Ruth Budd; (bottom row) Frances Bas- sett, Jean Mulbar, Mrs. Jennie L.

PRESS CLUB Open to all those students interested in any phase of newspaper work, whether reporting, editing, or printing, the Press Club has always had a large membership. Its purpose is to act as a magnetic force toward those people of common interests, and to form a basis upon which they can meet to- gether, exchange ideas and opinions, and have a good time; for in the past the Press Club has been purely a social group with a journalistic background. This year the mysteries of the printing of a metropolitan paper was explored when the Press Club toured the Examiner building in Los Angeles. Later in the year, the journalism department sponsored the banguet and annual newspaper contest of Orange County high schools. The attendance of over one hundred and fifty persons attested to its success and to the possibility of its being continued in the future. This year as in the past the Press Club assumed the responsibility of editing and publish- ing the Student Directory. The publication of last fall was un- der the supervision of Tay Riggs. Officers for the year were: Bob Swanson, president; Dorothy Griset, secretary-treasurer. John H. McCoy acted as the club ' s advisor. Following is the identification of the picture of Press Club members above: left to right (top row) Tay Riggs, Franklin Guthrie, Vic Rowland, Harvey Baker, John Rabe, Roger Schively, Bob Prescott, Dick Phillips; (middle row) Herb Gulick, Gerrie Griffith, Evelyn Chapman, Frances Was, John H.

It was during the Christ- mas season that the members saw the quaint presentation of Dickens ' Christmas Carol. In the spring the stage adaptation of Edith Wharton ' s story of bleak New England, Ethan Frame, was well attended by Tavern Tattlers.
